Flashback. Part IV. Trapped (Paperback)

In "Flashback, Part IV," the author faces the deepest truths about the relationship with her overpowering, mentally ill mother, unveiling the wounds, scars and bruises of her battered soul. As Jay (Jorgelina Zeoli) moves forward on this excruciating path - embraced by the love and support of her therapists, her stuffed animals and her inseparable buddy God - she rediscovers the innocence, the tenderness, the humor and the joy of her true self. (Zeoli's "easy-read" style incorporates humor, poetry, dialogue, illustrations by her inner child, and letters to her sister.) "Jorgelina Zeoli gives a rare expose of the process of recovery from a shattered self to a whole, loving human being. She reveals how one can triumph over abandonment, abuse, depression and despair."
